Why Go?
Bulgaria's central heartland is vital to the national consciousness, for its role in the 18th-
and 19th-century National Revival; this legacy lingers in the period architecture of Lovech
and Koprivshtitsa, and at battle sites such as the forested Shipka Pass. Other historic high-
lights include the vivid church frescoes of Dryanovo and Troyan monasteries, and the in-
credibly detailed 19th-century Tryavna School woodcarvings.
